There, his path crosses with a shaman who is shrouded in mystery but wants to help the young man seek revenge against those who ripped his family away. The shaman sets out to train the boy in an attempt to help him leave his imagination behind and use his senses to transform himself into a vehicle of death and destruction.

The feature is set to come out in July.

With such an extensive background in action films and television shows, Koji is an obvious choice to join the cast of Boy Kills World. While nothing else is known about the film at this time, be sure to follow Collider for all updates.
